I drove behind Village Hall to use that new mailbox because I love sending letters but hate leaving my car. That's when I noticed a small plot of land bursting with vegetation. Though I had to leave my car to explore this garden, I discovered a peaceful pocket of fruits, vegetables and a little wildlife.

The garden is not under lock and key, but please don't pick the growing food. Some of the small garden's plots provide produce for local food pantries.
